Phoebe has returned and begun a new nest.
Here it is: . The cam is up and running well now! She has been testing the rose bush for several days now, and the web owner has moved the cam now so we can see how she builds the nest. Lots of sharp thorns this time to discourage dangerous predators!

The nest is growing quickly. It is fascinating to see how Phoebe binds the plant fibers with tiny spider webs! She also does a little wiggle wiggle dance to compress the bottom! A little trivial factoid: a hummingbird weighs as much as a penny! About 21 grams.
At this rate it will be done by Sunday! Seems like more activity later in the day for her. She must be feeding early in the morning.

The egg was laid early this morning. Perhaps another in a day or two is expected!
Posters on that site say the weather is warm and good for the egg too.

Phoebe is now settled in and incubating the eggs. The second one was laid early this morning!
She seemed so busy and frenetic up to now, and now she is dozing on the nest....much easier to watch! Good luck dear Phoebe, for a successful hatching and fledging!

Phoebe's breeding time is now over until fall, about October or so.
I am therefore removing this stickie... and will start another when she begins again. .
